I had two cast semi-wadcutters hang up in my pocket size .380. The load was 2.6 grains Titegroup behind a 100gr lubed bullet. That is not a minimum load either. This was after I had shot about 6 rounds. The seller of the rounds lists his diameter as .357 and assures me these are fine for the normally .356 barrel of the .380. I won't mention this internet seller but will say I measured about 2 doz. bullets for diameter and I get .355 - .356. Can you see why I'm confused?
